Migrate Process Instance

API Type

REST

HTTP Method

POST

Description

Migrates process instances from one version to another version (called process migration).

Good to Know

  • It is required to provide Migration instruction with details of a list of activities.
  • It is required to suspend a process instance before migrating.
  • To call this method, the API account user must have the access right, Cancel a Process.
  • Once the migration is successful, it is required to call the method Suspend and Resume a Process, so that the process instance resumes with the newer version.
  • This method is provided for reference for very advanced users — mainly internal AgilePoint teams. If you need help with this method, contact AgilePoint Professional Services.
